Description
This dress was originally a handpainted 80’s skirt my Mother-in-Law picked up for me from a 2nd hand store because she thought I could “do something with it”. It had a gathered waist and buttons down the front. It had never been worn – framents of paper backing from when it was painted were still stuck to the back. It has become my favourite Summer Dress ever and is soooo cool on a hot day. Everytime I wear it people say how cheerful it is.
Material Notes
Re-cycled hand painted 1980's cotton. Vintage cotton fabric (for straps).
